Ethiopian Airlines’ Airbus A350-1000 Makes First Flight to Lagos











Ethiopian Airlines has announced that its first Airbus A350-1000 aircraft in Africa will make its inaugural flight to Lagos, Nigeria.

The airline’s latest addition to its fleet, the Airbus A350-1000, arrived in Addis Ababa from Toulouse, France, on November 5, 2024. In partnership with Airbus and Aviation Sans Frontières, Ethiopian Airlines transported over €100,000 worth of medical supplies for the Ethiopian Airlines Foundation on this historic flight.

The A350-1000 is scheduled to make its first official commercial flight from Addis Ababa to Lagos, marking a new chapter in Ethiopian Airlines’ operations across Africa. This state-of-the-art aircraft will also serve key international destinations, including Washington, D.C., London, Paris, and Frankfurt, enhancing the airline’s capacity to deliver top-tier service on high-demand routes.

Currently, Ethiopian Airlines owns 21 aircraft from the Airbus A350 family, with plans to add 14 more in the coming years, including 11 A350-900s and three additional A350-1000s.

The Airbus A350-1000 is capable of accommodating 395 passengers, with 46 business class seats and 349 economy class seats, allowing Ethiopian Airlines to expand its passenger capacity. Named “Midland Ethiopia,” the aircraft brings modern, efficient wide-body capabilities with advanced technologies and improved aerodynamics.

Compared to earlier models, the A350-1000 generates 50% less noise during flights, ensuring a quieter, more comfortable journey for passengers.

With this new addition, Ethiopian Airlines continues to strengthen its position as a leading carrier in Africa, setting new standards in aviation excellence and passenger comfort.

Lagos, Nigeria e kwa!

7 kpozas to Ethiopian Airlines for this African Love.

I really want to appreciate Ethiopian Airlines for making it possible for Africans to always enjoy the beauty and comfort of brand new airplanes. I know that a lot of foreign airlines are bringing some of these airplanes also though after some months or even years but Ethiopian Airlines makes us the first users.

Now this is Africa putting an African first.

Long live Ethiopian Airlines!!!

Love,

Brian.
